Log the object
Enter the name, photo, and where it came from.
How it works
Save, compare, repeat.
Four steps from a fresh moment to a reusable record. No setup, no account.
Save the story
Write who gave it, when, and why it matters.
Add people
Connect the object to the people and places in its history.
Tag for future
Categorize by box, room, or importance.
What you can save
Objects can survive for years while the story behind them quietly disappears.
The app is short on purpose. The notes field is free text so the record can hold anything that does not fit a label.

Use cases
What people actually save with MemoryBox.
Keepsake logging
Attach the full story to objects before the context fades.
Family history
Preserve the provenance of heirlooms for future generations.
Mindful decluttering
Decide what to keep by reviewing why each object matters.
Comparison
Why not just use a notes app or a spreadsheet?
You can. MemoryBox is for when a free-form note is not enough and a full database is too much.
vs. A box in the closet
The physical object survives. The story does not, unless you write it down.
vs. A notes app
Object stories get mixed with todos. MemoryBox keeps them connected to the object.
vs. A photo album
Photos show the object but not who gave it or why it matters.
